Cricket News In Brief – February 14, 2012 – Live Cricket Score and Update – Part 3
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JEC-Franklin-c1684 being named Player of the Match.
In a high scoring affair, the tourist’s batters finally came to the foil to post a mammoth 200 for 2 in their 20 overs, with skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BRM-Taylor-c1200, top scoring with an impressive unbeaten 43 ball 75.
The hosts also started with intent as openers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KS-Williamson-c1813, who thrashed 20 off just 5 balls to ensure his team maintained their unbeaten run – chasing down
the target with 2 balls to spare.
Sri Lanka was restricted to 236 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 after another batting failure saw the Lankans lose momentum in the latter parts of the CB series game.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DPMD-Jayawardene-c1397, who contributed a brisk 43. However, the batting side lost their way after both fell in quick succession, which resulted in a below par total.
In reply, the Indians also lost timely wickets but Gautam Gambhir’s rich vein of form continued as the left-hander posted another unbeaten half-century to keep his team in sight of their second consecutive win of the competition.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 at Sydney on February 17, 2012.
Punter will be captaining the side in place of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978, who suffered a hamstring strain during his side’s first loss of the ongoing CB tri-series against India.
However, the decision did not go well with former legend, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-Rodger-Waugh-c91216, who questioned the selection committee’s stance of not elevating David Warner, the vice-captain, to lead the side.
"If http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301 is in there as vice-captain I assume they think he's leadership material and if he's vice-captain why can't he captain the side as well?" Waugh told reporters.
Pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BW-Hilfenhaus-c1204 has also been recalled.
